摘要
AbstractInformation sharing has been regarded as a way to coordinate or to optimize the whole supply chain. Prior literature focuses on unilateral information sharing in a supply chain with single or substitutable products. This paper explores bilateral demand information sharing in a supply chain, in which two competing manufacturers provide substitutable products to a common retailer. All supply chain members have partial forecast information about the market demand. We establish three pricing decision models and derive the corresponding results by backward induction to study the effects of bilateral information sharing on pricing and expected profits of supply chain members under three information sharing strategies. The results show that (i) information sharing decreases the positive effect of manufacturer's demand forecast on the optimal price, but increases the positive effect of retailer's demand forecast; (ii) information sharing benefits two manufacturers and hurts the retailer, whereas benefits the whole supply chain under certain conditions; (iii) the retailer prefers to share information with one of manufacturers rather than both of manufacturers. Finally, we also provide some managerial insights with the help of computational studies.Keywords: Supply chain managementbilateral information sharingmanufacturer competitionpricing strategydemand forecast information AcknowledgmentsWe thank the Editor(s) and the anonymous reviewers for their constructive and insightful comments, which help us significantly improve the quality of this article.Data availabilityThe data used to support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon request.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
